3 He helps us every time we have trouble. Then we are able to be strong and help other people every time they have trouble. We can do this with the same comfort that God gives us.
4 We have plenty of the same troubles that Christ had. But we also have plenty of comfort and help from him.
7 God has not given us a spirit of fear. But he has given us a spirit of power and love and self-control.
7 God has not given us a spirit of fear. But he has given us a spirit of power and love and self-control.
7 This is something of great value within us, but we are like pots made of earth and clay. This power is greater than any other power. But it comes from God, not from us.
8 We have much trouble, but we do not give up. We are in hard places, but help always comes.
9 People trouble us, but God is always with us. We are beaten, but we are not killed.
10 We always feel as if our body is dying, just as Jesus died. Then the life of Jesus also can be seen in our body.
11 While we live we are always ready to die for Jesus. And so the life of Jesus is also seen in our bodies which will die.
18 Where Gods love is, there is no fear. Gods perfect love takes away fear. It is punishment that makes a person fear. Anyone who has fear does not have perfect love.
49 But when they saw him walking on the water, they thought it was a spirit. They shouted loudly.

13 Who will do something bad to you if you want to do what is good?
14 But even if people trouble you because you do right, God will bless you. Do not be afraid of them. And do not be troubled.
28 Do not fear in any way those who are working against you. It is God who shows them they are lost and you are saved.
5 Do not let the love of money control your life. Be satisfied with what you have. God himself has said, I will never be away from you. I will never leave you alone.
6 So we can be strong and say, The Lord will help me. I will not be afraid. What can men do to me?
13 But you were kind to help me when I was in trouble.
27 Peace is what I leave for you. I give you my own peace. People of the world also say, "Peace" to you. I do not say it as they say it. Do not let anything trouble your hearts. Do not fear.
